The photographs show this exact piece, which is the piece you receive; no two dioptase specimens repeat. A compact matrix specimen sized for a cabinet shelf or thumbnail display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper gives dioptase its deep green, a color so saturated the mineral was historically mistaken for emerald. It forms glassy prismatic crystals in oxidized copper ore zones and is too brittle for jewelry, which keeps it a collector's mineral. Natural and untreated, this specimen was sourced through a community partnership in Renéville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited to mineral cabinets, desks kept out of harm's way, and gifts for collectors, dioptase is traditionally associated with love and intuition. Treat it as display-only: Mohs 5, perfect cleavage, no rough handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213235286052,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0014","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-14-04_ddeb239a-42d4-4d1f-9ad2-2d770cece7d3.png?v=1783736006","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-14","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
